Barclay Damon has formally launched a multidisciplinary Semiconductor Team to serve the rapidly expanding semiconductor manufacturing and supply-chain sector. The new team consolidates work that the firm has been doing for nearly two decades.
“Capitalizing on our long experience serving New York State’s semiconductor corridor, we’re proud to be the only law firm with active involvement in every major chip fab project in the state,” said Jeff Davis, co-leader of the Semiconductor Team. “Formalizing the team allows us to build on this foundation and continue to deliver outstanding service as the industry accelerates its investment in US-based manufacturing.”
Kevin McAuliffe, Semiconductor Team co-leader, noted, “The semiconductor industry intersects with everything from energy infrastructure to international trade and clean technology. The creation of a formalized team acknowledges the unique benefit our firm can provide through helping clients seize these opportunities while also managing the regulatory complexity that comes with rapid innovation.”
Barclay Damon’s Semiconductor Team brings together attorneys from across the firm’s practices—corporate compliance, cross-border, data security, environmental, financing, intellectual property, labor and employment, land use and zoning, litigation, mergers and acquisitions, project development, public finance, regulatory, tax, and more—to offer comprehensive legal services tailored to the fast-evolving semiconductor industry. The team serves semiconductor developers and manufacturers, industrial development agencies and economic development corporations, and Tier 1 supply chain partners.
“Our clients face complex regulatory, financial, and operational challenges,” said McAuliffe. “We understand the requirements that are unique to the semiconductor field and are deeply familiar with important programs like New York State’s Green CHIPS incentives as well as environmental compliance, permitting, and right to build issues that are critical to helping our clients achieve their growth goals.”
